"I was a very nice stay in a clean home, very impressed. The next statement are improvement suggestions. We had to clean the grill before using it. The grease trap underneath the burners was pretty thick and a potential fire hazard. The patio can use better lighting. The base of tub needs a new bead of chalking. The Brita water pitcher is cracked on the bottom and leaked in the refrigerator. We washed the hammock that smelled like dog my wife said. All in all a very nice comfortable stay."
